The Sprawl

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fictional location. No evidence of stand-alone notability. Not a shred of analysis. Pure WP:PLOT and list of appearances in media. Fails WP:PLOT, WP:GNG, WP:NFICTION. BEFORE shows nothing that's not in passing or a plot summary. Deprodded by User:Necrothesp with no rationale. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:22, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete non-notable fancruft that fails WP:GNG.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:57, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable location only about appearances and plot. LPS and MLP Fan (Littlest Pet Shop) (My Little Pony) 20:51, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: WP:FANCRUFT is equivalent to WP:IDONTLIKEIT and is not a valid argument for deletion. "Understanding William Gibson" (Gerald Alva Miller, Jr, University of South Carolina Press, 2016) devotes an entire chapter to the Sprawl Trilogy; I found several other reviews and analysis of Gibson's work with significant attention paid to the Sprawl Trilogy and the megacity in which the novels are set. The article may need to be edited to reflect this (I can't; JSTOR access required for the sources I found and I don't have it), but AFD is not cleanup.Vulcan&#39;s Forge (talk) 05:10, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
 * You may be interested in knowing there is an article for The Sprawl trilogy, and this is about the location itself. Different things entirely.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 03:32, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
